Andrew Swallow has been welcomed among the ranks as an AFL captain at the league’s season launch in Sydney today. Together with the 17 other leaders, Swallow posed for photos and conducted interviews with the magical Sydney Opera house providing a stunning backdrop.

At the home of Sydney captain Adam Goodes, Swallow gathered with the likes of Luke Hodge, Matthew Boyd and Chris Judd for the rare get together. The captains will be joined by the coaches, CEOs and Presidents for official proceedings later in the evening.

Check out some of the photos from the launch below.
